Virtual Mermaids

Odd as it may sound, there is something relaxing about real and virtual aquariums, even more than watching the fish, though, I love watching mermaids and mermaid ballet. It soothes some restless need I have, but since I don't live near Weeki Wachee Springs, I've discovered—virtually-speaking—the next best thing.

Here we are, humans and merfolk waiting for the show to start. The far bottom right mermaid is yours truly.

Really beautiful color scheme with a strong Japanese influence. Notice the blooming cherry trees in the background.

This is a side angle view of the stands (which started filling up) and the performers jumping out of the water and into the "air" and swishing fins and tails in synchronization. Like a lovely moving painting.

The Ocean's Call

Stuck in my writing cave and daydreaming about my upcoming trip to Florida with my sister. It's been so long since I last stepped in sand and felt the pull of the ocean's song. When I am near the ocean I can feel the tug of it calling me and all I want to do is dive in the water and play. I picture myself, sitting by the water's edge, listening to the waves roll into shore. My skin and my entire body feel lighter, freer and more alive. I can sense the healing process both emotionally/mentally and physically start to take effect. Slowly, I take a breath and attune to the siren song as I bask in the sun and meditate.

I think sometimes people who live along the coasts or on islands take for granted their ability to be so close to the heart of Mother Nature's core. Those of us who are landlocked envy you.

Until next time ~
